    Okay so the name Joe Rogan popped up in a couple of threads recently. Like him, hate him, don't give a shit about him, it doesn't matter. Just take eight minutes and forget the messenger, enjoy the message. It's about breaking free of a life of drudgery and conformity.
    The part that really hit me was at 7:15 "you see an old person....." :sigh: it really makes you think.

    I got a rare visit from my grandkids a couple of days ago, ages 2 and 6. That really made me think too. :sigh:

    Anyway, enjoy it - dogpile it - or ignore it but here it is:

    People working jobs they hate, and which don't serve humanity, just to survive -- why we need UBI.

    Sadly even with UBI freeing them from a soul draining job many people would still not have the motivation or desire to live life to the fullest.

    I dunno, being a transphobe is very conformist and run-of-the-mill.
    Or does he mean becoming a celebrity?

    I'd never heard of this clown until @The Ghost of Crazy Horse mentioned him here. Now that Rush is dead and everyone else moves up a notch, what are his standings?

    He catches the dribbling runoff of trailer park kids who can't quite commit to the open swastika-kissing of Tucker Carlson.

    I should start a list of "People I've Never Heard of Who Are Apparently Big Machers in the Talktalktalktalktalk Industry."

    Like WTH is Fallon Fox? Someone persuade me I should care. :bergman:

    Yeah, well, Tucker might be running for president in 2024, so you might wanna keep an eye on the Nazi little bastid.

    He has a podcast on spotify, but you can find a lot of his stuff on YouTube. He has guests ranging from comedians, to politicians, to MMA/ UFC fighters, to scientists such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, to musicians, entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and even Alex Jones. Needless to say, he has a very diverse audience and a highly diverse number of guests from across the political spectrum. Here's a crazy idea, why don't you look him up, listen to a few of his podcasts that you think you might like and make up your own mind about him rather than listen to what biased board members say about him. A good place to start for you may be his podcast with Bernie Sanders.

    glad everyone isn't actually taking eight minutes to see if maybe this is a video pretty much anyone can relate to. Nothing political, nothing controversial just something inspiring and meaningful.

    Again, recap it for us. Stop channeling the Ghost of Crazy Horse. Some of us have lives.

    he never said that. However many people have opportunities that they never dare take. The video covers that of course.

    Basically, if you have a passion or a dream, don't give up, peruse your dream. Don't be afraid of failure. If you work at hard enough and long enough and improve on your failures, you can make your dream come true. Don't worry about the haters, you don't have to be stuck in your 9-5 bullshit office job for the rest of your life. We've heard this from other celebrities that have had to live in their cars and go broke and what not until they finally make it.

    I had that shit sorted out.

    I listened to him for 3 years straight in my stupid CHUD phase.
    To say I'm over him is an understatement.
    The odds of that man discovering genuine profundity are slim to nil.

    Are we really comparing Joe Rogan to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson? They're not even in the same universe.

    Rogan is a progressive on most matters of policy substance. But he catches flak from the Left for being skeptical of woke culture and having the audacity to talk to crazy, disagreeable people like Alex Jones. I would put Rogan in the same camp as Bill Maher, except Rogan is less opinionated and less confrontational toward his guests.

    Besides, politics is only a small portion of his podcast. He talks to everyone about everything. Some of the episodes are interesting, some are boring, depending on your topics of interest.

    What a shitty attitude to have towards people @MikeH92467 . I thought you better than that. Good thing I never said that and neither did Joe Rogan.

    CHUD. :dayton:You sure do like using that term a lot. It's really stupid. Anyway, it's not about Joe Rogan, it's his guests I like to listen to and the discussions they have.

    I didn't pick it, the internet did.
    I wanted it to be SQW meaning Status Quo Warriors.
    I could try to force it to be SQW, but no one's gonna understand me.

    Besides, CHUD works.
    Sewer cannibals?
    Yeah, that checks out.

    Which happened ten years ago. If you want to cherry-pick about that and Bill Maher dropping the N-bomb, for example, no one will survive the wokelord witchhunt.

    These people are solid progressives and they do the invaluable work of bridging the gulf in the nonsensical culture wars. You should be thankful.
